Summary: Originally produced by Granada Television, this fine dramatic series is based on the stories of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. THE SIGN OF FOUR tells of the puzzling predicament of Mary Morstan (Jenny Seagrove), whose father disappeared ten years ago. Every year, she receives a valuable pearl from an anonymous benefactor. As she sets out to find the source of these beautiful but mysterious gifts, a sudden murder adds to the complexity of the case and Sherlock Homes (Jeremy Brett) finds himself again the perfect man to get to the bottom of it.

The Sign of Fouris a 1987 feature-length version of Conan Doyle's second Sherlock Holmes novel, and is faithful to the original story except in one important detail: Dr Watson (Edward Hardwicke) does not get the girl. Otherwise, the familiar tale of the death of Bartholomew Sholto and the theft of the Agra treasure is all here, featuring a snappy performance by Jeremy Brett as Holmes doing some of the finest investigative work of his career. The famous climax, a chase on the Thames in which Holmes is almost struck dead by an exotic weapon, is handled very well. Sherlockians may have a hard time not seeing Watson's romantic pursuit of Mary Morstan (Lila Kaye), his first wife according to Doyle's book, but it would hardly have been practical in the context of the long-running Granada Television series. The rest is to be enjoyed, however. --Tom Keogh
